From earlier, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jill-stein-slams-nevada-supreme-court-after-green-party-suffers-big-blow-in-ballot-battle/ar-AA1qfyLA

The campaign team for Stein and her running mate, Dr. Butch Ware, have said there is "no legal recourse" to fight the Nevada decision.

Well, I guess he was wrong then.

"And secure the election and jam the Senate". It sounds like the guy thinks they'll will the presidency if they force a shutdown. Has that worked, like, ever?

That sounds about right for the GOP.

Regarding Dems, I'd have to say citation needed (barring of course the cases I implied above - but in those the reasoning is more nuanced than just "nO mOrE cHoIcEs"). A good counter example is how they backed independent socialist Bernie Sanders, https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/mar/02/how-can-bernie-sanders-run-democratic-primary-when/

Well, this is disappointing. I wonder why the decision went this way.

Seems to me that he's trying to do the right thing, as per https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/us-to-demand-access-to-israels-investigation-of-slain-turkish-american-activist/3331943?amp=1 he's pushing for more access to the investigation - likely to prevent the IDF from covering it up (and based on the timing this started after reports came in contradicting the IDF's line).

It's difficult to understand, but I can see why hasn't spoken out about it publicly yet - on the one-in-a-million off chance that it turns out the IDF was right about it being an accident all along (yeah right), he doesn't want to have to apologize to them (and really can you blame anyone for not wanting to apologize to the IDF?).

A silver lining, we can view the US folks who gain access and review as being more independent than the IDF themselves.

I don't see any evidence of lying from OP, rather it seems like OP only checked https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-shooting-elsipogtog-family-statement-1.7321343 instead of going through every page.

And OP is technically correct that there are three more names not mentioned by your sources, but that's besides the point. You would no doubt find them if you looked - but I didn't hear about these names back on TV or the radio when they were first reported (or even see it in print when I got the newspaper for free on the TTC).

So I would definitely that an awareness issue still exists in the public mindset, though at least it's good to here that the House is debating it....

Their point was no one else is covering it

You'd have to provide a quote for that, as I don't see it.

FYI this ain't it,

And silence from main street news.

I'll refer you to this definition of "main street" to prevent further confusion, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/main-street

I'm with girlfreddy on this.

I don't recall watching this on TV the evening news, or hearing about it over the radio.

It's good that the major Canadian outlets are covering it online (and I hope in print?) but it sucks that the visibility is not so high. Unless you're watching the right feeds, it'd be easy to miss that this happened.

I'm partial to ecosia.org myself. Search while helping to plant more trees!

I feel AOC is right here. It would be easier to take the Green Party more seriously if they were working hard to build a grassroots and running for and wining elections not only for Senator or House Rep, but even in state legislatures. Perhaps even a governorship or two.

C'mon, I mean Harris isn't perfect but the other guy has done a lot, lot, lot worse...

Ignoring the seriousness of Covid? Think how many died needlessly because of that. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-policy-failures-have-exacted-a-heavy-toll-on-public-health1/

Even ignoring covid, how many died under his health policy (or lack thereof)? Possibly over 25k: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/quantifying-health-coverage-losses-under-trump/

Heck, technically he's not even anti-abortion! https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-abortion-stances-republicans-2024-gop-rcna147222

For anyone who is "pro-life" in terms of all human beings being and staying alive, I should think that backing Harris should be a no-brainer.

Is there a good playground magazine? (j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.us)
 

Basically I was looking for lemmy and mbin versions of https://piefed.social/c/playground - as I set up my single user instance, it would be good to have a test magazine where I can make test posts and test comments without bothering the users of a real community.

 

testing to see if updating the hostname in the URLs in the database fixes federation finally for new posts/comments
